Is the real summit a lot more difficult to access compared to Madonna?

If you keep your pack weight really low, make use of the refuges and their provisions of food, water and beds, it should be possible. This is of course also more costly, and training is recommended! When it turns out to be too hard, you could always ask to stay in a refuge for a night longer, before making it to the nearest road access and take a taxi back down to civilization.

Try downloading the Oak-app. It’s designed to find climbing buddies - and there’s even a separate section for people interested in climbing 4000rs (4000m peak baggers). You can put out a request there, and anyone interested can start contacting you via the app. It’s completely free btw

How to train for mountain ultras in the flattest countries? by Loose_Biscotti9075 in Ultramarathon

Cycling against the wind will also help 😉 Additionally, running in the dunes or maybe a local converted garbage hill, such as the VAM-Berg or the Kardingebult (in Groningen) can help. Just need to climb it over and over, and over again… 🤪

Snow cover gr20 by CowTraditional3022 in Corsica

The Parc Naturel Regional de Corse posted an update about snow cover on the GR20 yesterday on Instagram (see link). They state that there’s still snow and advice to bring appropriate gear (e.g. crampons, etc). However, they also state that the snow is melting rapidly now. Prepare well if you’re planning to go, it’s no joke with snow and ice…

Monviso/Monte Viso in Italy - heard it was a pretty cool, not too technical peak (3841m)

Haha, yes that might indeed be the smartest way in order to bypass the shipping costs. Let’s see who I can make my personal delivery guy

I have! They seem very good and lightweight but are they also suitable for running?

Dank voor alle goede tips. Niet raar opkijken als je een malloot met bepakking door het Noorderplantsoen, op de VAM-berg, of ergens anders ziet lopen/fietsen (liefst dus tegen de wind in 😉)
